Nikola Jokic’s two-year-old daughter Ognjena stole the show at the Colorado Avalanche game on Tuesday.
The Denver Nuggets star was at Ball Arena to support his NHL counterparts as they hosted the Vancouver Canucks. In the second half, Jokic appeared on the jumbotron while he enjoyed the action.
Ognjena also seemed to have fun as she was seen smiling and clapping with the crowd. Another video showed a different angle of her standing on Nikola’s lap while participating in the cheering.
Jokic sported an Avalanche cap as he received ‘MVP’ chants from the Denver crowd.
Like his daughter, the 2023 NBA Finals MVP couldn’t contain his joy as they were warmly welcomed by the Avalanche fan base.
